I tell you my small tutorial how to face enemie cap in fighter and keep fun on your side.
1. scan him... if he doesnt have missiles fly arnoud and piss him with sooting into him till he became annoyed enough to leave your teritory. If he have missiles, just flee... he become bored soon (nothing to do is boring like hell) and leave your teritory too:)
2. get bomber and minimaly 1 friend (it is easier if you are in faction to create working bomber squad) and go to whore him with SNACs... 2 bombers are enough to kill everything smaller than battleship (ment with basic flying skills). 3 bombers are enough to kill battleship:)Whore them, whore them and whore them until your nick (or tag of your faction) didnt make a giant hole into their brains. If you kill someone with IQ higher than 15 more than 2 times without losess there is chance 80% they never try to rape you again:)
